In any case theres been a bit more of a hub-bub surrounding this in the last week or so with a Michael Ancel interview confirming that the game is being made but likely not going to be released for the current console generation.

I doubt the Gamecube version of the first outing sold anywhere near what it did on PC, PS2 and Xbox so to see it become a Nintendo exclusive made simply to promote the NX console makes me a bit angry.

No Beyond Good & Evil wasn't a huge seller I know but there's been a steady amount of interest in a sequel now for years and years from those who loved it on all platforms so this just feels like a kick in the face after years spent wishing and waiting for something to finally materialise.

It doesn't matter how much of a market you think this game might have on PC, when the original came out it massively underperformed and didn't sell enough copies. Since then Ubisoft have held fire on making another one because they feel the same will happen again and I'm sure they have done the market research to back this fear up. As it stands the only way this game was going to get made was via backing from a console manufacturer. So it's not a case of Nintendo stealing it from PC players, but Nintendo stepping in to see that the game gets make.

If you want to get mad at anyone, get mad at all the people who didn't bother to buy the game when it first came out. If they had done we would have had a multiplatform B&E 2 a long time ago.
